Fabio, I get the same error but only if I open the BAK file in VFP9 as well. If th BAK file is opened with another app like notepad then this does not happen.


>VFP 9 can write large prg files.
>Now, because, at the same time, i cannot open two or more program.prg edit windows,
>i try this:
>open the program.bak in read mode, and edit program.prg.
>One ugly surprise:
>when i save (only save!!!) VFP says to me:
>- File access is denied (Error 1705)
>and
>- close the edit window, losing all my modifications !!
>
>To use VFP within a Dev Team ?
>Example:
>

>- Dev1 open a .prg
>- Dev2 cannot open .prg
>-   then Dev2 open the .bak
>- Dev1 works for 2 hours
>- Dev1 a coffee wants drink,
>   then it press Save
>- Dev1 the coffee does not drink more,
>   but one is drunk camomile!

>Ask: why VFP open a prg in pessimistic lock mode ?
>Expected:
>

>- Open a .prg
>- At first edit operation:
>a) refresh the file with a write lock access
>
>b) when save, if a error occurs, NOT CLOSE THE MODIFY WINDOW !!!!!!!!!

>Another point:
>the situation is still worse than how much it seems.
>If you uses:
>

>MODIFY COMMAND SOMEPROGRAM.BAK NOEDIT && Read only mode
>

>VFP open SOMEPROGRAM.BAK with a write exclusive access !,
>and you still must to drink camomile.
